Kitsune in Teyvat Chapter 15 (Patreon)

Dottore actually laughed at Nahida's strong words with him waving his hands side to side before he refocused on me. "No, Lady Kusanali for all that you are a goddess I know I am much more dangerous in pitched battles especially if you are going to try to protect these others... No there will be no combat now and instead I wish to simply speak to and little Kurama for a moment."

I raised an eyebrow hearing this and then I nodded and asked bluntly. "What do you want Dottore?"

I wasn't using illusions or any of my other kitsune tricks. No, right now my hands were clad in the deathly grey mist of my power over time that my friends and family thought was the world's Erosion upon immortal supernatural creatures.

And Dottore himself stilled sensing the energy around me and his almost joker-like grin was wiped away as he stiffened and then spoke coldly in a clearly serious manner. "Kurama, and Nahida... I wish to trade for the Electro and Dendro Gnosis you both carry."

I froze as his words didn't make any damned sense. Mom the Electro Archon supposedly went and snatched it back from the Balladeer but... That was the rest of what I heard about it besides it possibly being sold to Arlecchino for the information on how to leave this world of Teyvat.

So I answered seriously and with utmost honesty as I spoke with confusion. "I don't even have the Electro-"

But I was cut off as Nahida turned towards me and with her hand coated in green Dendro power she poked me in the chest and I gagged as purple Electro power thrummed around my form and I had only one thought... 'Fucking Yae Miko!' As wrapped around the Electro Gnosis which looked like an oversized chess piece that fell out of my soul was bound up in seals I recognized as being from the Narukami shrine along with the most damming of evidence.

Yae Miko had used some of her own tail hairs to bind the seals and gnosis within my soul so our shared kitsune nature would hide the gnosis from my own senses!

And Dottore laughed deeply as he saw my shocked face with him saying with great amusement. "Ah yes. Guuji Yae has proved to be most cunning along with the head of the Kamisato clan who have kept the majority of Fatui influence out of their lands. But anyway... Kurama, I have the answers you so seek. Will you hand over the Gnosis or will I need to take it from you?"

'Do I give the Gnosis to him?' I thought and in reality, it wasn't really even mine to begin with. Nor was it my mothers even as Celestia who had given these elemental chess pieces out to the Archons still hung over my mother like a guillotine.

Then I was reminded that even though my memories of Genshin Lore was a bit fragmented after reincarnating here. I still knew that it was a literal plot point that the Fatui continued to get the Gnosis by hook or crook. So keeping the Electro nuke in my soul wouldn't be doing me any favours except for being a bigger target.

So I asked bluntly. "And how do I know you will keep your word?"

And Dottore had the perfect answer. He tilted his head to the side and even as Fischl lowered her bow as it seemed like we weren't going to fight yet. He answered frankly. "You and your mother wish to escape this world and Celestia's gaze... In what way is that fact that you two are wanting to leave this world a threat to me, my interests, or even the interests of the Fatui?"

Dottore had no realize to lie, if anything he would probably love to get on my mother's good side as his clones, puppets, and stolen bodies used a lot of the same magic and other know-how that my mother used to create her puppet body and to seal away her true soul into her sword and then within her puppet.

And he took a breath and then said evenly. "Here and now... I have the map. A literal map to escape Teyvat, through the Abyss and reach the true world beyond this fake world with dead stars hanging above us... All I need, is the gnosis within your hands that you will never use."

I looked to Klee and Fischl and they shrugged weakly with their faces showing them not wanting or unable to give me any good advice so lastly I looked to Nahida who had in my own time of looking around have plucked her own Gnosis from her chest and was holding it in her own hands.

Oh Dottore looked tempted... Two elemental Gnosis were literally floating but feet away from him but as Nahida and I came closer I twitched as I felt my time power touching the Gnosis and then the elemental power of enhanced lightning struck Nahida's gnosis.

Everyone went stiff as the Electro spark of lightning enhanced with the power of time which I had control over. Hit the Dendro Gnosis and the power seemingly flowed into Nahida, with a thrumming poof sounding out with my eyes widening at what happened next.

Nahida grew! Her childlike form originally a good couple inches shorter than I was grew and grew taller until she reached Fishcl's teenaged form and even Dottore looked flabbergasted as the Dendro Gnosis... Just turned to fucking dust as Nahida's rapid growth seemingly completely drained it of its power.
